PR to PO

Is it too much work to turn a PR into a PO?

Lio agents check every purchase requisition, clarify gaps with the requester, route approvals and turn clean PRs into purchase orders, inside the systems you already use.

Every PR checked by hand

Shared-service centres and buyers review requisitions one by one: supplier, price, coding, attachments, approvals.

Checks aren't consistent

Repetitive manual reviews miss errors that a consistent rule set would catch.

Fraud and policy gaps slip through

Split orders, unapproved suppliers and off-contract prices are easy to miss at volume.

The agent works inside SAP, Coupa or Ariba. Requesters keep their usual channel, buyers keep their system, and nothing gets re-typed in between.

Autonomous PR Review

Every PR is checked against supplier, contract price, coding, attachment and approval rules, written in business language.

The agent checks supplier, contract price, cost center, attachments and approval rules on every incoming PR. It fixes standard errors automatically, based on your business rules and on how similar PRs were handled before.

Autonomous requester clarification

Something missing? The agent asks the requester, not your buyer.

When a detail is missing or unclear, the agent asks the requester one specific question and updates the PR once they answer. Your buyers never have to chase again.

Approval workflow

The request goes to the right available approver with the context needed to decide.

Approval chains follow your rules, built from any combination of factors. The agent approves routine PRs itself. When an approver is out of office, the Agent knows their deputy. When someone adds line items and a threshold changes, it recalculates and adds the approvers now needed, if something sits too long, it sends reminders and escalates.

No-touch PO

Clean, compliant PRs become POs automatically, within your controls.

Once a PR has passed its checks and approvals, the agent writes it back as a purchase order into your ERP or procurement suite, within your controls.

Build your own checks

Add new checks in plain language: a warning, a block or a trigger to source.

Describe a new check, workflow or agent in plain language: a warning, a block, or a trigger to start a sourcing event. Your procurement team changes the rules themselves, without developers or an IT project, so the checks keep up when policies and regulations change.

From your checklist to no-touch POs

Lio starts with buyers confirming the agent's decisions. Clean cases move to the agent as trust grows.
